After a dinner at ReComiendo, a tasting tour at Toro Albala, a tapas tour in Granada, and a visit to Alhamabra, for our final day, we were excited to indulge in a beachside grill at Hermanos Muñoz just outside of Málaga, Spain. This local eatery is known for its “Espetos”–wood grilled sardines on a stake. We also enjoyed other fire-charred local seafood 🐟 including whole grilled squid. Málaga wow’ed us with not only its authentic seaside cuisine, but its charming streets, murals, and architecture. —#FRTakeover by @barcelonawinebar#barcelonawinebar#bwbspaintrip

Our Wine & Spirits Director, @gretchenlenae, knows A LOT about wine and also happens to be barrels of fun. When we visited Bodegas y Viñedos Ponce to visit our dear friend, Juan Antonio Ponce, he surprised the team with the opportunity to stomp grapes. He not only makes fantastic wines, he knows and cares about his relationship with #barcelonawinebar. He expresses true gratitude and hospitality whenever we visit. His wines are pleasant, easy drinking, yet soulful–a great representation of the winemaker himself. After we *crushed* 🍇 our tour, we headed outdoors to fire-up an authentic asado. Over coals from the grape vines on the property, we cooked up Baby Lamb Chops along with Potatoes cooked in Olive Oil and Eggs—#FRTakeover by @barcelonawinebar#barcelonawinebar#bwbspaintrip

After a walking tapas feast through the gothic quarter of Barcelona, a tasting at Cavas Masachs, a tour of La Boella, and a visit to Celler Joan d'Anguera, we made it to one of our favorite hidden gem eateries in L’Ampolla, Spain–Lo Goleró. Swipe 👉 to check out what we’re noshing on. 🍽 : Almejas 'Lo Goleró' (a recurring favorite dish from years of Spain trips–Mediterranean clams, steamed in white wine and the broth gets thickened with a paste of almonds, bread, garlic and pimentón), Oysters, Mussels, Fideos (toasted pasta and local shellfish)—#FRTakeover by @barcelonawinebar#barcelonawinebar#bwbspaintrip

Pack your bags, fasten your seat belts, and get your appetites ready @foodrepublic friends–the #barcelonawinebar team is taking you on an epic journey the next couple of days. Follow along as we take an in-depth look at the team's recent tour of 🇪🇸 Spain #bwbspaintrip—🤔: You might be wondering — who are we and why do we take our chefs and managers to Spain multiple times a year? 👋: We’re a chef-driven Spanish tapas restaurant and wine bar–our passion for hospitality is fueled by our desire to build authentic relationships with not just our guests, but our Spanish vintners and vendors. We venture to Spain several times a year with select #facesofbwb because we believe that living, eating, and breathing the Spanish lifestyle is far more valuable to our team than any other training we can provide. We immerse ourselves in the culture because we believe in experiencing first-hand the inspiration behind our concept so we can re-create it for our guests.👥: @gretchenlenae, @adamhalberg, @chefjosephl, @raasikhinc, david bromberg, don hart, marcellus coleman, john scott—In the meantime, we’d love to hear your favorite sites in Spain–comment and tag us below ✈️🍽 #FRTakeover by @barcelonawinebar
